This looks like a really cool game. I think the artwork is really cool. but I think it could use a few tweaks in the code. And the fox (I think that’s what it is) blends in a lot with the ground. I would suggest making the health and hunger bar near the inventory. I would be more than happy to help.

Well, i feel like its important to work on the movement of the predators and your character, perhaps we could add some kind of prey sprite like a mouse. and lets make a running animation for the fox!

Okay so the 1st team had 2 member’s, meaning @Therandomcoder and @ZeroFall are goanna work on the game, so here are your jobs.

So, @Therandomcoder you job is to add new mechanics into the _game_ (ex. adding day and night cycle, more food and items and etc.)

Then @ZeroFall you job is the same as @Therandomcoder but instead of the game you do the _mobs_ (ex. add new animals, new predators, and etc.) you could also use help by the artist or just ask @Luke, he dose do good in pixel art after all.

Okay, my plan is for someone (Or myself) To create a bear that will run around (I may need help with the creation of the art and animation then they will be an eagle shadow in the sky that if it crosses paths it picks you up and kills you (Day times animals are being made as both eh bear and the eagle are day time animals)

What I did.

- Add night and day mechanics based on fox vision
- Add better tree and tomato spawn w/ functions
- Moved the status bars to a less annoying area. (Stays in screen and only based on camera movement)
- Fox sprites to show which direction he is going

I hope u enjoy it.

Also, including this, i would love to have more times of predators and preys, and a small running animation and pouncing animation! i would also love a starting up screen and cut scene to start the game but thats asking for a lot from you! I hope you continue this passion project and i’ll be watching the game!
